Aim:
The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical success, survival and failure rate of titanium-ceramic single crowns (SCs) and fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) submitted to patients at the Faculty of Odontology, Malmö University.
Materials and Method:
To answer the research question, patients with SCs and/or FDPs made in titanium-ceramic at the Faculty of Odontology, Malmö University, between year 2011-2015, were identified and later examined by, two dental students during their eight semester (April 2016), with a visual-tactile method.
Results:
The study contained a total of 47 participating patients, this outcome represented 69 % of all the patients found matching the inclusion and exclusion criteria during the patient selection. Out of the 47 participants, 67 restorations were obtained and examined. The 67 restorations that were included in the study had a mean age of 35 months and a median age of 29 months. Out of these, 47 were SCs and 20 were FDPs.
The clinical success, survival and failure rate of the SCs were 55%, 43% and 2%, respectively. The clinical success, survival and failure rate of the FDPs were 15%, 70% and 15%, respectively.
Conclusion:
Within limits of this study the following conclusions were made:
•The titan-ceramic SCs submitted to patients at the Faculty of Odontology, Malmö University had a higher success rate compared to the FDPs.
•The results indicate an overall high and acceptable success and survival rate for the titan-ceramic restorations.

PurposeTo evaluate the adjunctive clinical effects of a chloramine to non-surgical treatment of peri-implantitis. Material and methodsEighteen individuals diagnosed with peri-implantitis (clinical signs of inflammation and progressive bone loss) on at least two implants were included. Clinical variables; plaque accumulation (Pl), probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL) and bleeding on probing (BoP), were recorded at baseline and at 3-month follow-up. Primary clinical efficacy variable was the change in the number of sites with BoP. The implants were randomized into two different treatment groups: test and control. Both implants received supra- and submucosal debridement by ultrasonic instrumentation supplemented with hand instruments. The implants assigned to the test group first received local applications of a chloramine gel (Perisolv; RLS Global AB, Gothenburg, Sweden) followed by mechanical instrumentation. The oral hygiene was checked at 6weeks. ResultsAfter 3months, implants of both groups showed statistically significant reduction (P<0.001) in the number of BoP-positive sites compared with baseline. The reduction of BoP-positive sites in the test group changed from 0.97 (SD0.12) to 0.38 (SD +/- 0.46), and in the control group from 0.97 (SD +/- 0.12) to 0.31 (SD +/- 0.42). Between-group comparisons revealed no statistically significant differences at baseline and after 3months, for BoP or any of the other variables. ConclusionIn the present randomized clinical trial of peri-implantitis therapy; non-surgical mechanical debridement with adjunctive use of a chloramine is equally effective in the reduction of mucosal inflammation as conventional non-surgical mechanical debridement up to 3months.

Background: Immediate loading of single implants is generally considered a reliable procedure. Purpose: The objective of the present prospective randomized clinical study was to compare the overall treatment outcome following immediate loading (IL) and delayed loading (DL) of single implants after 1 year of follow-up. Materials and Methods: Patients with a missing maxillary tooth (15-25) were randomly assigned to IL or DL. The protocol included implant installation in healed sites, immediate loading, delayed loading, temporary screw-retained restoration, and replacement with a permanent single implant crown. Outcome measures were implant survival, marginal bone level, soft tissue changes, papillae index, pink, and white esthetic score (PES and WES), patient judged aesthetics, and oral health impact profile (OHiP-14). Results: Implant survival rate was 100% and 96% for IL and DL, respectively. Implant success rate was 96% and 88% for IL and DL, respectively. Statistically significant lower papilla index scores were found in the IL group at temporary crown and definitive crown placement. An overall statistically significant improvement after 12 months for PES, WES and OHIP-14 was found. Conclusion: This prospective randomized study showed that single implants in the maxilla can present satisfactory results with respect to either immediate loading or delayed loading after 12 months.

Objective. To develop international consensus-based recommendations for the orofacial examination of patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), for use in clinical practice and research.
Methods. Using a sequential phased approach, a multidisciplinary task force developed and evaluated a set of recommendations for the orofacial examination of patients with JIA. Phase 1: A Delphi survey was conducted among 40 expert physicians and dentists with the aim of identifying and ranking the importance of items for inclusion. Phase 2: The task force developed consensus about the domains and items to be included in the recommendations. Phase 3: A systematic literature review was performed to assess the evidence supporting the consensus-based recommendations. Phase 4: An independent group of orofacial and JIA experts were invited to assess the content validity of the task force’s recommendations.
Results. Five recommendations were developed to assess the following 5 domains: medical history, orofacial symptoms, muscle and temporomandibular joint function, orofacial function, and dentofacial growth. After application of data search criteria, 56 articles were included in the systematic review. The level of evidence for the 5 recommendations was derived primarily from descriptive studies, such as cross-sectional and case-control studies.
Conclusion. Five recommendations are proposed for the orofacial examination of patients with JIA to improve the clinical practice and aid standardized data collection for future studies. The task force has formulated a future research program based on the proposed recommendations.
